ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult delves into the intertwined lives of Sage Singer and an elderly man named Josef Weber. Their connection takes a dark turn when Josef confesses a deeply troubling secret from his past during World War Two and asks Sage for an extraordinary request. As Sage grapples with this revelation, the potential resurfacing of her grandmother Minka’s own harrowing experiences during the Holocaust further complicates the situation. The narrative explores profound themes of guilt, forgiveness, the enduring impact of historical atrocities, and the power of storytelling to both preserve and confront the past. The arrival of a Nazi hunter adds another layer of moral complexity to Sage's dilemma.
